Composite materials or plastics can be reinforced or strengthened in various ways. When a plastic is reinforced with fibres, those fibres give the plastic exceptional mechanical strength. High toughness is the primary mechanical property of the fibres used. The fibres currently used on a large scale are mainly glass fibres, carbon fibres and aramid fibres.
Reinforcement | What is reinforcement?
An armouring is applied to a material with the aim of improving its mechanical properties. The armoured material obtained is then a composite. As an example, we mention iron reinforcement in concrete. In plastics, glass fibres are often used to arm the plastic. This makes the material stronger, which means an increase in tensile strength and thus the maximum stress the material can bear. Glass fibres are characterised by a very high tensile strength, but are also ductile. Moreover, the fibres are resistant to high temperatures.

Reverse osmosis | What is reverse osmosis?
This is a water treatment technique, where under the influence of a driving force across a semi-permeable membrane, water is separated from its salts.
Roof coating | What is roof coating?
A roof coating is a coating applied to a roof to protect it and can be either MS polymer-based or polyester-based.
Roof glue | What is roof glue?
1 and 2 component adhesives for bonding all materials found on a roof. These can be both foaming and non-foaming adhesives. Usually these are polyurethane-based.
Roof resin | What is roof resin?
A roofing resin is a specially formulated, elastic, resin that is reinforced with a special reinforcement (polyester veil ). One such resin is, among others, Flexsyseal.
